Men are more likely to use methods that kill you immediately like gunshots, hanging, or jumping. Or more surefire sneaky methods like CO poisoning.
Women are more likely to use drugs to attempt to overdose and either do it incorrectly or are caught just in time.
Guns are good at killing. That's why women don't use them.
They don't want to die, they just want people to coddle them and give them attention.
When I was in highschool there was this chick in my circle of friends who was a complete attention whore.
She would have constant "suicide attempts" that would involve running across busy roadways (when it was safe to do so) and taking 6 regular strength aspirin at once.
That's why. It's all attention whoring bullshit.
Whereas men actually know strife.
Men are 3 times better at killing themselves, and women want 4 times as much attention
Undeniable facts
OP, what you have to understand, is women lack conviction
They can be pragmatic, sure, but they lack logical, honor, and self worth that men hold.
They constantly need attention from men to feel relevant, so why is it a surprise that they try to commit suicide and are less successful?
Because they're so self absorbed they can't imagine a world without THEMSELVES in it.
Subtle narcissism
Don't take it from me though.

The cognitive dissonance is astounding
Wrist cutting counts as a suicide attempt. Women generally survive so they can reoffend as well. That's why their rate is so high.
Men get shit done.
Women crave attention, but they can only half-ass.
Beyond just the numbers, I wonder if women's suicide "attempts" aren't over-diagnosed like everything else to better fit the victim narrative. Many, many mental illnesses are considered to be "overwhelmingly" skewed towards women, like anorexia, borderline personality disorder, etc. when psychiatrists are questioning if there isn't more to it than that, if they aren't just simply missing many men who have the same issues because the diagnosis would require slightly different symptoms.
You have to figure out what a suicide attempt is, and see if the definition fits the reality of it. Also if it's applied evenly: would the same gesture, coming from a man or a woman, be classified as a suicide attempt? I'm pretty sure men would "win" both categories if equal attention was paid to their behavior.
Fpbp
Elderly people have less reason to kill themselves to begin with.
They're not going through relationship struggles, they're not overly worried about finance, and they've already been through most shit.
